What else can I help you with?
Is gigantomastia - a noncancerous but potentially fatal disorder where the breasts grow out of control - a qualifying condition under the military Exceptional Family Member Program - EFMP?
Gigantomastia, while a noncancerous condition characterized by excessive breast growth, is not typically listed as a qualifying condition under the military Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP). The EFMP primarily focuses on medical and educational needs that require special support and services. However, if gigantomastia leads to significant complications or requires specialized care, it may be considered on a case-by-case basis. It's important for service members to consult with their medical providers for specific guidance and eligibility.
Does Tricare cover reduction mammoplasty due to potentially fatal gigantomastia?
It is possible insurance will cover the procedure if the physician can document that a reduction or mastectomy are necessary to improve the comfort of the patient. Gigantomastia however is not a life-threatening condition; it can be contributory to headaches and backaches, and in extreme cases ulcers, and while it is potentially painful, it is not potentially fatal. Treatment typically consists of ice therapy, physical therapy, controlled diet, and/or hormone or steroid treatments. While surgery is performed to alleviate symptoms, only a mastectomy can eliminate the condition completely.
Is there a disease that makes your breasts grow fast?
Yes, a condition known as gigantomastia can cause excessive breast growth. This rare condition can occur during puberty, pregnancy, or due to hormonal imbalances, leading to significant breast enlargement. Other factors, such as certain hormonal disorders or medications, may also contribute to rapid breast growth. If someone experiences sudden changes in breast size, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.
